Believe me he started to get really skinny becuase he would not eat. I rescued him.... When I found him he was skin and bones and had menge.. I tried to find the owners by calling flyers, posting ads on the internet and even had him skanned for a chip at the vet... No one tried to find this poor baby... So I kept him and took care of him. Now he's a happy healthy little guy. The vet said by his teeth he was approx 8 months old too! Still just a pup. And you can tell he's a pure bread... I don't know who had him before, but they obvioulsy did not care about him at all.
He was so bad when I found him that the vet thought he had parvo when he first seen him because he was so skinny and lethargic for being so malnutrioned.. Before he did testing for the parvo he sent me home with some high nutrition dog food and told me to feed him that and bring him back in a week.. (unless he started vomiting and diarrhea) He could tell when i brought him back that he was already starting to get better (not so lethargic) and it wasn't parvo it was just malnutrition... But the dog food the vet gave us only pleased him for so long and he stopped eating it..
Anyways... The raw diet seemed to get him on the right track and he eats on a normal basis and stays at a healthy weight.... And I'm soooo glad we found eachother... He's so sweet.  |
